2014 Legislative Dinner

On Wednesday, March 12, Attorney General George Jepsen was the keynote speaker for the Chamber's Annual Legislative Dinner. Jepsen detailed his office's approach to working with Connecticut's Business community during his remarks.  Members also had the opportunity to meet and greet directly with a special question and answer session which began prior to the event hosted by Waterbury Hospital and Saint Mary's Health Systems. The Legislative Dinner was also sponsored by Saint Mary's Health System.    

A Message from our President, Lynn Ward
April 2014 marks the 125th year of operation of your Waterbury Regional Chamber! As we begin this milestone year, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for being part of our dynamic organization. We are proud to continue our focus of helping your business thrive by being your network, resource and advocate.

 

You might be aware of all the events we hold because their success is highly based on intense marketing. Please be assured that 'behind the scenes' we are focused on economic development, public policy, and leadership development and education initiatives to create a better environment for your business.  

 

Networking remains to be the number one reason why businesses belong to the Chamber. One of the Chamber's high profile annual events - The Business Expo - takes networking to the next level. Please join us on Wednesday, April 9 at CoCo Key Water Resort and Conference Center, 3580 East Main Street, Waterbury, from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. The expo provides people a fantastic networking opportunity and businesses a chance to showcase their products and services in a casual, interactive environment. Booth space is still available and can be reserved by calling us at 203-757-0701.

 

I'd also like to call your attention to this month's newsletter message from Membership Director Cathy Dalton. Our 2014 Membership Campaign is now underway and its success is very important to the stability of our Chamber. Participating in the campaign is a great way to support the organization that you are invested in. However, if you do not have the time please consider just one company that might not yet be a member and pass on the good word about your experience in the Chamber. Most recently, Jack Traver of Traver IDC was conversing with Tom Ordway of Braxton Manufacturing about his involvement in the Chamber. Within 24 hours Braxton Manufacturing became one of our newest members! Please consider how you too can help promote membership.

 

Please keep reading and scrolling for news and announcements from your fellow members. As always, I encourage you to contact me if I can be of assistance to you at [email protected] or (203) 757-0701 ext. 310.

 

Best regards,

   Lynn Signature

Local Businesses Reap Savings Thanks To State's Energy Efficiency Program

Pizza Castle owner Chris Skabardonis recently took advantage of a free energy assessment by the state's Office of Energy Efficient Businesses (OEEB) and, based on their cost-cutting recommendations, will be on track to save big. The energy assessments and improvement recommendations are part of a door-to-door city outreach program facilitated by the OEEB that began early last year in Hartford and has since expanded into Waterbury. The OEEB examines the owner's energy bills to determine if the business can obtain a more favorable rate for natural gas and/or electric generation service, analyzes fuel switching opportunities, and identifies financially attractive, renewable energy technologies. These services can help small business owners see savings in energy usage and bills within a one to five-year timeframe. To schedule an assessment, call (860) 291-8832, or e-mail [email protected].
